constexpr std::chrono::month& operator++() noexcept; | (1) | (since C++20)
constexpr std::chrono::month operator++( int ) noexcept; | (2) | (since C++20)
constexpr std::chrono::month& operator--() noexcept; | (3) | (since C++20)
constexpr std::chrono::month operator--( int ) noexcept; | (4) | (since C++20)

Adds or subtracts 1 from the month value, reducing the result modulo 12 to an integer in the range `[`1`,` 12`]`.

1,2) Performs *this += std::chrono::months{1};.
3,4) Performs *this -= std::chrono::months{1};.

### Parameters

(none)

### Return value

1,3) A reference to this `month` after modification.
2,4) A copy of the `month` made before modification.

### Notes

After a call to one of these functions, ok() is always true.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <cassert>
    #include <chrono>
    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        std::chrono::month m{6};

        ++m;
        assert(m == std::chrono::month(7));

        --m;
        assert(m == std::chrono::month(6));

        m = std::chrono::December;
        m++; // rounds up to January
        assert(m.ok());
        std::cout << unsigned(m) << '\n';

        m = std::chrono::January;
        m--; // rounds down to December
        assert(m.ok());
        std::cout << unsigned(m) << '\n';
    }

Output:

    1
    12
